WEEKLY SUBJECT ROTATIONS

To create an effective study schedule that balances all ten subjects over a week, we'll allocate 2 hours per weekday
and 5 hours per weekend day, making a total of 20 hours of study per week. Given that we need to cover 10
subjects, we'll aim to study each subject twice a week, with a slight bias toward subjects that might require more
attention.
Here's a proposed schedule:
### Weekday Schedule (2 hours each day)
- **Monday:**
- 1 hour: Math
- 1 hour: Computer Science
- **Tuesday:**
- 1 hour: Physics
- 1 hour: Chemistry
- **Wednesday:**
- 1 hour: Biology
- 1 hour: Psychology
- **Thursday:**
- 1 hour: Economics
- 1 hour: Business
- **Friday:**
- 1 hour: Design and Technology
- 1 hour: History
### Weekend Schedule (5 hours each day)
- **Saturday:**
- 1 hour: Math
- 1 hour: Computer Science
- 1 hour: Physics
- 1 hour: Chemistry
- 1 hour: History
- **Sunday:**
- 1 hour: Biology
- 1 hour: Psychology
- 1 hour: Economics
- 1 hour: Business
- 1 hour: Design and Technology

This rotation ensures that:
- Each subject gets at least 2 hours of study per week.
- There is a balance of subjects each day to keep the study sessions varied and engaging.
- Core subjects like Math, Computer Science, Physics, and Chemistry are revisited midweek and over the weekend
to reinforce learning.
Feel free to adjust this schedule based on your personal preferences, workload, or any upcoming exams/projects that
might require additional focus on certain subjects.
